Generally speaking, I'd say you're between a medium and a large in terms of bike frame size so it would boil down to case and point for any bike you look at. The pinn'rs front centre is generally a little short even for a medium. I would guess that you'd feel more comfortable on a large. But I might be wrong. You'd have to ride it to know for sure.

 

I wouldn't suggest this bike for an enduro. Unless you're prepared to push it up most of the time. Great for smashing it on the downs. But a dog on the ups. I'm not saying she can't climb. She could, I guess. But she nor you would like it for very long. 

 

She'll make a great shuttle bike though especially at a place like hakahana.

Assuming the bikes is good shape. I think its a lekker deal.
